Yvette's answers to your questions
1. How do you plan to get young members more involved in the Labour Party?
We strongly need more young people involved in the Labour Party. The Tories have hit young people hardest - and they count on young people being less likely to vote or get involved in politics to hold them to account. Lots more young people have joined in the Labour Party in the last few years. But let's be honest. CLP branch meetings aren't always the most exciting way for young people to get involved. We need more party campaigns led directly by young people, with more imaginative use of social media. We need to build strong Labour Clubs at all our Universities and reach out more into further education. We also need more and stronger Young Labour Groups in every locality, building upon the success of the likes of London Young Labour and Wirral Young Labour. We also need to work closely with our Unions to ensure that young people active in Unions in the workplace join us as Party members and affiliated supporters. And we also need to show that Labour has a vision for the future that is exciting to be a part of - for example campaigning on the great challenges of the future to protect our planet from climate change, and for greater equality in our country.
2. What is your strategy to press the Government to allow 16 and 17- year-olds to vote in the European Referendum?
We need to put huge pressure on the Government to accept our amendment for 16-17 year olds to be able to vote. I voted for the amendment in the House of Commons this month, but it didn't get enough support to win. Our best chance next is to win this in the House of Lords, but it also needs a strong public campaign involving teenagers from across the country, Young Labour, Labour Students and organisations such as the British Youth Council, NUS and Bite the Ballot so young voices are heard. In the Scottish referendum we saw young people have a real impact. They were key campaigners for both campaigns and voted in phenomenal numbers. But then they weren't able to vote in the General Election. I'm delighted that all our members from 14 to 114 can vote in this election for the next leader of our Party.
3. How can Labour get more women and young people, as well as BAME, disabled and LGBT members to stand for selection as candidates?
Parliament should look like the country - it still doesn't. We've made progress in the Labour Party but need to do more. I'd love to see more young people standing - for Parliament and in local council elections too. That means making sure there is enough training and support - and that we do more to encourage young people to have a go. I was first selected to stand as an MP when I was 28 - much to my surprise as I just thought I would have a go. I want to see more people do the same thing. In 1923 we elected our first female MPs - Margaret Bondfield, Dorothy Jewson and Susan Lawrence. Today there are more Labour women in Parliament than ever before - 43% of our Parliamentary Party. But we still need to go further. That's why I have long supported all women short lists, why I would make sure half the Shadow Cabinet are women, and I think its time we smashed the last glass ceiling in the party and elected the first woman leader of the Labour Party, and first Labour woman Prime Minister too! I've also set a target to double the number of BAME MPs at the next election, and I want to see far more done by the party to support LGBT candidates and to make it easier for disabled candidates to stand. We need to look again at the financial cost of standing for selection and election which can make it impossible for some people, and also make it easier for parents to stand. In the next five years we can start with making changes in local government. If we are to have a Parliamentary Party that is truly representative of Britain we must start in our town halls and council chambers and work with Young Labour and party groups from day one.
4. Do you support an equal minimum wage for young people?
The minimum wage is one of Labour's greatest achievements - and I was proud to vote for it. But it is now falling behind, and the gap for the apprentice and youth wages has grown substantially. I'm calling for the Low Pay Commission to review this urgently. The Apprentice and youth rates were initially introduced at a lower rate to make sure employers didn't avoid offering apprenticeships, training, and first jobs for young people with no experience to get them started on the career ladder. But since then gap between the main minimum wage and the under 21s wage has widened from 50p an hour to £1.37 an hour and the Apprenticeship wage is stuck at just £2.73 an hour even though some current apprenticeships involve too little quality training, many first jobs don't include any career development and young people are not getting the chances they need. I think we need a major review by the Low Pay Commission to look at both the Apprentice rate and the youth rates so we can increase young people's wages and also increase training, career development and youth employment. And we need to do far more to promote a Living Wage too.
5. How can Labour get more young people involved in politics and increase electoral turnout amongst young people?
Young Labour and Labour Students are the heartbeat of our Party. It was young members in seats like Cambridge and Cardiff Central that helped get new Labour MPs elected in May. We increased the number of 18-24 year olds who voted Labour at the General Election from 31% in 2010 to 43%. But the Tories take advantage of the fact that only 45% of 18-25 year olds voted on May 7th compared to 78% of those aged 65 and over - and that's why they think they can hit young people hardest.
I want to see votes at 16 and much stronger citizenship education in schools. And Labour should keep campaigning on big issues that affect young people - including things like apprenticeships, student fees, rents, sexual harassment, votes at 16 and so on. But in the end I don't think young people are convinced by retail politics offers for young people - the so called "vote labour, win a microwave" approach. We need to be campaigning on the big issues that affect young people's future such as climate change, equality and social justice - so we have a big vision that young people want to be part of. So many young people aren't apathetic; they just don't currently see Party politics as a way to change things. We have to convince people that Labour can.

On Monday, September 11th (a date we will never forget), $SPX broke out to new all-time highs. There hasn't been a lot of follow-through after that, but those highs have been retained.
The importance of these new highs is that they distinctly turn the charts positive. The $SPX chart now has support at 2480 (the old highs), as well as at 2460 and every 20 points down, all the way to 2400.
This most recent upside breakout has generated a lot of call buying in the past week. As a result, all of the put-call ratios are dropping sharply, which is bullish. Both equity-only put-call ratios are on strong buy signals now (Figures 2 & 3).
Both breadth oscillators remain on buy signals as well. It is mandatory that they get overbought when the broad market is breaking out to new highs (especially then, but also when any new bullish leg in the market is beginning).
This brings us to volatility, which is always an interesting story. $VIX itself remains low (below 13 is "low" in our way of thinking), and that is bullish for stocks. Stocks can rise without a problem until $VIX begins to trend higher.
In summary, we have intermediate-term buy signals from all indicators. Thus our targets of 2540 to 2576, depending on which of our methods you are using, remain intact. A short-term overbought correction is possible, but even if it occurs, it should only be a minor deterrent.

Trinity: "You know the question, just as I did."
Neo: "What is the Matrix?"
Trinity: "The answer is out there, Neo. It's looking for you. And it will find you if you want it to."
–The Matrix
This exchange takes place in a techno Goth club near the beginning of The Matrix, before Neo understands what the Matrix is and before he ever meets Morpheus. These lines set Neo's adventure in motion. Not long after this exchange takes place, Neo will decide to let the Matrix find him, and he will discover that more than one person has been counting on him to find and understand an important answer to a cryptic question. From the very beginning, the film suggests that more than one real world exists, if we can just open our minds to it. Trinity suggests that Neo can't avoid this other world, and that it's open for him if he knows how to look for it. Trinity's final sentence foreshadows the tension that will arise between fate and choice, a tension that will reappear throughout the trilogy.
This exchange reveals the true extent of Neo's double life. As the everyman Thomas Anderson, he holds a day job as a respectable computer programmer and works at night as a renegade hacker, nicknamed Neo. Now he is also a chosen one, someone selected to find the cryptic answer to which Trinity refers. Though Neo is thrust into this strange world with no explanation, he doesn't seem entirely surprised—when Trinity refers to the question, Neo knows instantly what question she means. On some level, Neo may have expected to one day be taken to task for his suspicions and speculations about reality. That an everyman like Thomas Anderson could be plucked from ordinary life and chosen to search for an answer suggests that anyone in the audience might one day be chosen to be a messiah as well.
Morpheus: "You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
–The Matrix
Neo meets the enigmatic and imposing Morpheus for the first time in an empty room in an abandoned building in the Matrix, when he still has no idea what's happening to him. With little time available, Morpheus gives Neo the famous choice between the red and blue pills. The blue pill will let Neo keep control over his story, but his story will have no basis in truth. The red pill will throw Neo headlong into a world he has no basis for understanding. Neo takes the red pill, of course, setting the trilogy in motion, and this moment with Morpheus marks a clear before and after in both the film and Neo's life. Nothing, after this decision, will ever be the same.
The "wonderland" and "rabbit hole" references come from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. At the beginning of the story, young Alice follows a white rabbit into a deep rabbit hole. By entering the rabbit hole, she leaves the real world behind and enters a strange new world where the usual physical laws don't apply. In this new world, for example, she can change the size of her body, from abnormally big to unusually small. During her adventure she bends and breaks the rules of reality just as Neo will when he enters the Matrix. The rabbit hole for Alice, like the mirror for Neo, marks the transition from one world to the next.
Young Monk: "Do not try and bend the spoon—that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth."
Neo: "What truth?"
Young Monk: "There is no spoon."
—The Matrix
When Neo visits the Oracle in The Matrix, he sees a young boy in the Oracle's living room who is bending a spoon in mid-air. The boy, dressed as a Buddhist monk, bends the spoon just by looking at it. When Neo approaches him to learn the secret, the boy tells him that in order to bend the spoon, Neo must bend only his mind. In the Matrix, the spoon doesn't exist—it's just a code or a program that tells Neo's brain that he's looking at a spoon. Neo's mind, on the other hand, does exist. What he sees before him is not a spoon, but rather an idea his brain has created of a spoon—his own perception. He can change reality by changing his perception.
Neo remembers this exchange as he becomes more confident in his ability to break the rules of the Matrix. All he has to do is remember that the rules he breaks aren't actual rules. Just as there is no spoon, there is no gravity, there is no time—all these things are lies the machines tell his brain. Neo can fly, for example, because he can see gravity is a false construct. Once Neo understands that "there is no spoon," he gains more power in the Matrix.
Seraph: "You do not truly know someone until you fight them."
—The Matrix Reloaded
In the second film of the trilogy, the Oracle calls Neo away from Zion to give him crucial guidance about the path of the future. When Neo arrives at the address the Oracle gives, he encounters the Oracle's guardian, Seraph, who proceeds to fight him as a way of certifying that Neo is who he says he is. Seraph then delivers this cryptic comment to explain his unprovoked physical attack. His words suggest a philosophical theme of sorts that runs throughout the trilogy: fighting is not only a combat but also an almost spiritual process of discovery. Therefore, the fighting in the film is elevated to a more spiritual plane. Seraph's tone makes his proclamation seem profound, even divine. In a way, by giving the line such weight, Seraph justifies the exorbitant glut of action sequences that occur in the Matrix films. Instead of fight scenes simply being par for the action-movie course, Seraph suggests that they have a more noble purpose, an idea that sheds a different light on Neo's many battles with Smith.
Agent Smith: "You can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you persist?"
Neo: "Because I choose to."
—The Matrix Revolutions
This exchange between Neo and Agent Smith takes place during their final battle in The Matrix Revolutions. Smith has replicated himself onto the entire Matrix, populating it completely with copies of himself, and the Smith that is battling Neo was once the Oracle. Smith and Neo have beaten each other nearly to a bloody pulp, and they're in a crater created by the impact of their bodies hitting the ground. Smith thinks he has beaten Neo, but Neo has once again summoned the strength to keep fighting. Though Smith absorbed some of Neo's powers when Neo almost destroyed him in The Matrix, he has never absorbed the ability to fully understand what it means to be human. He doesn't understand love, freedom, or truth, and so he dismisses them as something humans made up to help them endure their short, pointless lives. Smith has ruined the Matrix, and he's made everyone in it into himself. Smith knows that Trinity is dead, and that Zion is under attack. He can't understand why Neo won't just give up, and Neo's answer infuriates him.
When Neo and Morpheus first discuss fate, Neo says he doesn't believe in it and that he likes to be in control of his own life. Here, when Neo says that despite the destruction of everything he loves he'll continue fighting because he chooses to, he means he fights for the right to continue making choices. Neo understands that freedom and the ability to make choices are better than the blissful ignorance that comes from being plugged into the Matrix. His initial choice in The Matrix—between the red and blue pills—was Neo's first experience with true free will, and this final choice, to keep fighting, suggests that Neo has come full circle. When he chose the red pill, he chose to discover free will, and here, he actually embraces and uses that free will to fulfill his mission.

Well flying out of Chicago is no fun, my flight got delayed and it took forever to get home.
Meanwhile when I did not make it home we had a huge storm, thanks to my aunt have a few pictures of it to share. During the summer here in Eastern Washington we can have rather large thunderheads roll through, nothing like the Midwest, but still enough to strike fear in the hearts of farmers who see them coming. The worst part is you never know the path they will take and cannot control it anyway. As luck would have it the hail in Friday's storm hit about a half mile to the north of our fields, but we did see large volumes of rain (check out the pond that formed by our picking machine).
There was also a hop yard that fell down near some of our yards, which is a devastating site to see. I should have some better photos of it tomorrow and will try to dig up some old photos of us harvesting a downed yard to show you what the grower will do to salvage as many hops a possible.
Currently for an update on our harvest starting date, it looks like we will be going with a soft start running only one of our machines with a day shift on August 20th. From there we will start a day shift at our other machine and then roll into 24 hour a day operation soon after. This gives us time to work out any issues in the machines as it is easier to do repairs during the day.
Normally we do not have a pond in from of the machine, but we had one on Friday with a very small amount remaining until even today.
This photo was taken from ground level, as you can see we are looking straight at the top of a pole which should be 18 feet in the air. On the right you can see that the corner of the field can be seen still standing in the distance.

B-T calls for better science
Forest rethinks energy leases
By Cory Hatch, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Date: May 6, 2011
Bridger-Teton National Forest supervisor Jacque Buchanan on Thursday backtracked on a decision to withdraw energy leases on 44,720 acres in the Wyoming Range, citing the need for more analysis.
In January, Buchanan withdrew 35 leases on the 44,720 acres, saying energy development in that part of the Wyoming Range would cause unacceptable impacts to air quality and wildlife, particularly Canada lynx, a species that is considered threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
Stanley Energy, Inc., the Western Energy Alliance, Wold Oil Properties and Sublette County Commissioners appealed the decision. Late last month, Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and other members of Congress asked regional forester Harv Forsgren to rescind the decision, saying it was bad for the country's energy independence and security.
The Jan. 25 decision to withdraw the leases is "under great scrutiny and it's going to be challenged," Buchanan said when reach by phone while on vacation Thursday in Florida. "I looked at it and determined, after receiving the appeals and looking at the record, that we have a little more work to do."
Buchanan officially took her post as Forest Supervisor on the Bridger-Teton in late summer of 2010.
"It's my opportunity to go back and give it a really good look," she said of reviewing the decision. "It's an opportunity that I haven't had because I came into it so late."
In particular, Buchanan said she would take a closer look on sections of the decision dealing with air quality, lynx and mule deer.
"From my view, there were some things we could improve upon that could better document the decision rationale," she said. "It was not that I saw a major issue with how the process went. I said, 'There are some things we can add to it to make the analysis more complete.'"
The result of this new analysis won't necessarily echo her January decision, she said.
"There's no absolute," she said. "I'm going to let the [National Environmental Policy Act] process drive where we end up — to be true to the process and not be pre-decisional. There will be plenty of public opportunity to comment, regardless."
Conservation groups said withdrawing the decision isn't necessarily a win for the energy companies. "We support [Buchanan's] decision to do a more thorough analysis," said Lisa McGee, national forests and parks program director for the Wyoming Outdoor Council. "This is an important decision and she should take the time to get it right."
"We're confident that, once the analysis is complete, the Forest Service will be on even firmer ground to not open up the Wyoming Range for oil and gas leases," she added.

For Immediate Release:
Local community call for Rathlin Energy to honour commitment made in 2012!
Local residents and North Antrim political representatives gathered at Ballinlea Hall on the 29th April for a public meeting organised by Protect Our North Coast-PONC. All the speakers were local residents from Ballinlea and Stranocum. Brian Connolly provided an update on the latest developments in the campaign. He noted that following a very successful crowdfunder PONC raised funds to engage independent consultants to respond to Rathlin Energy's Planning Application and Environmental Statement. Ivor Ramage from the Ballinlea Residents Group who lives beside the proposed drill site focused on the key points arising from these responses.
In their response WYG (White Young Green) Consultants point to numerous inadequacies in Rathlin Energy's Environmental Statement stating "lt is our view that this application has the potential to result in significant environmental impact, and that certain risks have not been addressed by the Environmental Statement."
Michael Burroughs Associates concluded that to grant the application in current form would result in an 'unlawful decision' noting Rathlin Energy has not proven the development to be compliant with policy so it must be refused.
The consultants both noted that compliance with other Planning Policy Statements' dealing with environmental compliance is severely lacking on the grounds that there is insufficient information to confirm that no significant impact arises from the proposal with regards to: Noise and Vibration, Air Quality and Climate Control, Lighting, Health, Visual impact, Ecology and Water Quality/Hydrology. These consultation responses were recently submitted to the Planning Department and are available to view on the Protect Our North Coast website.
Ivor Ramage updated the meeting on a report submitted by Professor Lawrence Dunne BSc, MSc, ARCS, PhD of London South Bank University for PONC. Professor Dunne provided background information and noted longer-term considerations including:
The risk to residents living within a few hundred meters of a well pad may be very significant due to exposure to products of flaring and radon, compressors and pipe networks, when these are transported by the prevailing wind. The long-term risk to such residents, particularly the ill and elderly, the young and the not-yet-born, is likely to be serious.
The affects on the food chain, with implications for local farmers was noted by Professor Dunne in his report ' the risk of persistent organic chemicals/heavy metals entering the food chain is not discussed. Ballinlea is rural. Soil particularly will be contaminated with highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for long periods. Bamberger and Oswald (2012 New Solutions 22 (1) 51-77) pointed out the accessibility of toxins from oil/gas fields to the human food chain, via meat and dairy produce, with implications for human health and agriculture'.
Concerns about the potential impacts this well could have on public health were discussed during the meeting. 43 homes are within half a mile of the Ballinlea well site, and residents warn that this could be the first of many across the North Coast. Of particular concern is that Rathlin Energy sees no need to even monitor for possible negative health effects.
Those in attendance voiced their opposition to the plans raising numerous concerns about the impact on the local area. People strongly opposed the threat to farming, fishing and tourism. Concerns were expressed regarding regulation noting that the company breached its Environment Agency permit at its Holderness site on 19 occasions. Increased traffic on the route passing the Dry Arch and Dark Hedges was raised. It was noted that Rathlin Energy previously confirmed that no major employment opportunities would present themselves and the programme of work they envisaged would not be labour intensive. In addition, drilling rigs and specialised crews would all be brought in from overseas to the Ballinlea site. Neither would the company be offering training to enhance the prospect of job creation within the local community.
At the end of the meeting those present including MLA's Jim Alllister, Daithi McKay and Councillor Darryl Wilson on behalf of Robin Swann MLA unanimously passed four votes.
1) The local residents and Ballinlea Community present at this meeting object to the current Rathlin Energy Planning Application for Oil & Gas Exploration at Ballinlea 2 Drill Site.
2) The local residents & Ballinlea Community present at this meeting, request that Rathlin Energy Ltd. withdraw their Planning Application as the community reject their proposed Oil & Gas Exploration at Ballinlea Drill Site.
3) The local residents and Ballinlea Community present at this meeting, object to the Proposed Oil & Gas Exploration at Ballinlea Drill Site 2 and request that the Strategic Planning Service/DOE reject the current Rathlin Energy ltd. Planning Application.
4) The Local residents and Ballinlea Community object to the proposed Oil & Gas Exploration within the Licence Area, (North Coast), and request that a Moratorium on all future Oil & Gas Exploration in Northern Ireland is implemented by Northern Irish Assembly.
Following the votes the meeting called for David Montagu-Smith Chairman of the Board of Directors, Rathlin Energy Limited and Rathlin Energy (UK) Ltd. to honour the commitment he made in June 2012 in Ballinlea when he stated the following:
"Our ability to function profitably or commercially in Northern Ireland will depend more heavily on one thing than on any other and that is the support of the local communities in which we work. We also would not be able to function, nor would we try and function, if we are at odds with the local communities."
Those present unanimously agreed that Rathlin Energy are at odds with the local communities of Ballinlea and the North Coast and called for them to respect the local community, honour their commitment and abandon their plans to drill.
Protect Our North Coast has released a film supporting this call. PONC notes the approx 2000 objection letters to the Ballinlea 2 well application, the local multi-party support local UUP, SF, TUV and DUP MLAs opposed to the drilling proposal. The group recently met with Mervyn Storey MLA who has stated that he is opposed to the drill at Ballinlea. PONC noted the £10,090 raised in a two week period by 213 community members through crowdfunder to help oppose the Ballinlea 2 well application and the Hundreds of people at local meetings asking MLAs to intervene.
The group also highlighted their ongoing community survey and called on the 1400 residents who will have received a survey card recently to go online and complete it. Each card has a unique code and the survey is being conducted by an independent company on PONC's behalf. PONC would also encourage people to continue sending objection letters to Planning. More information is available via a link on the PONC website.

Protect Our North Coast (PONC) is a campaigning group based on the North Coast of Northern Ireland raising awareness of Petroleum License PL3/10 which is held by Rathlin Energy Limited. The license areas covers Rathlin Basin which includes parts of Counties Antrim and Londonderry/Derry.
Public Meeting took place on 7pm Wednesday 29th April 2015 Ballinlea Orange Hall, 76 Straid Road, Ballinlea Upper, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim BT54 6NW
Other concerns noted by Professor Dunne include:
• No long-term study has been done anywhere in the world on the health effects of chronic exposure of human populations to the emissions from gas/oil extraction. Hence, the long-term risk is not known. However, it is known that extended exposure to the radioactive and chemical emissions typically associated with gas/oil operations poses a serious mortality and morbidity risk.
• The atmospheric concentration of highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) measured across a natural gas patch in Colorado (taken to represent a typical gas field) was 15.5 ng/m3, 60 times that allowed in UK. This is likely to be the level of PAHs over onshore oil/gas field anywhere and can be expected to have clinical significance. A number of investigations reviewed by Colborn et al (Human and Ecological Risk 2011 vol.17 (5) p 1039-1056) highlight the health risk particularly cancers for those exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Babies prenatally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with a total concentration at much less than 15.5 ng/m3 suffered developmentally. (Vandenberg L, Colborn T, Hayes T, et al. 2012. Endocrine Rev 33(3):378-455). The proposed regulatory regime at Ballinlea would not detect such emissions or control them.
• The cumulative effects or synergy of components in emissions needs to be taken into account. Laboratory investigations to determine safety limits typically measure exposure to one chemical at a time, while real-life conditions entail simultaneous exposure to a number of volatile chemicals, with interactions that cannot be predicted. Government standards are typically based on the exposure of a grown man encountering relatively high concentrations of a chemical over a brief time period, for example, during occupational exposure. They do not address the issue of exposure to many chemicals simultaneously which is precisely what a flare emits.
• Extended low-level pollution from a wide range of chemicals is known to cause a variety of chronic illnesses – skin irritation, severe headache, eye irritation, sinus problems etc (Steinzor et al. New Solutions 2011 Vol 23(1) p55-88). Common illnesses induced by emissions,with likely prevalence in the neighbourhood of well pads have been documents. McKenzie, Witter, Newman, & Adgate (2012, Science of the Total Environment DOI: 10.1016/j/sciotenv.2012.02.018) examined neurological, respiratory, hematologic and developmental effects in relation to proximity to a gas well and their findings are not consistent with an evaluation of 'low risk'.
• Endocrine disruption through chronic exposure to airborne emissions is being urgently discussed worldwide. National emissions standards do not apply to exposure faced by individuals (including pregnant women, children, and the elderly) experiencing chronic, low-level exposure, 24 hours a day 7 days a week in natural gas/oil neighbourhoods. Emission limits do not take account of an atmospheric cocktail of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which can be particularly harmful during prenatal development and childhood (Colborn et al (Human and Ecological Risk 2011 vol.17 (5) p 1039-1056), Dejmek J, Solansky´ I, Benes I, et al.2000. Environ Health Perspect 108:1159-64).
• Emissions and associated smog induced by ozone formed in the hydrocarbon/Nox- rich atmosphere over an oil/gas field may critically affect those already ill with a chronic condition such as respiratory or cardiovascular disease.

The Death of an American Dream: Amber's Immigrant Story
Amber was a caller to "The Connection" on WBUR in Boston in the 1990's, the radio antecedent to "Open Source." Listeners came to know her and look forward to her calls. She tangled with some of our most erudite and combative guests …and usually got the best of them. Joe Kahn even wrote a profile of her for the Boston Globe in 1999:
Regular "Connection" listeners have come to know Amber from her memorable jousts with Camille Paglia, Gore Vidal, Germaine Greer, and other world-class talkers. Harold Bloom once gasped "Who is this?" after listening to an Amber soliloquy on Shakespeare … In sum, Amber is a phenomenon, a rare creature of the talk-show culture who makes others sit up and listen. In that broadband democracy, wherein some callers are manifestly more equal than others, Amber, with her fierce intelligence and heat-seeking opinions on everything from presidential politics to pop culture, can hold her own with anyone.
We interviewed Amber again this week on the subject of immigration. Here's Chris's introduction, and you can listen to the most recent radio dispatch from Amber and a transcript of what she told us below.
Amber landed in Boston as an orphan child from the British Caribbean — an uninvited but ecstatic guest at the American banquet table. Decades of uncertainty, and unrequited love — specially from the immigration authorities — are taking their toll in anxiety, sometimes disabling fear, and loss. She's now thinking she wants a divorce from her American Dream. This week she spoke to me at length about the rise of Donald Trump as a turning point, not just for her.
Amber: I think this is your America. I think this is the real America finally showing itself after a long time, and so do all the people who walk around with my skin color or in my neighborhood. We feel like we've been cheated for the last 8 years. You lied to us. I mean, come on Christopher. This is after Obama. The most classy, the most adult, the most charming, the most sophisticated, the most quietly elegant president in my lifetime — and I'm not saying that because he's black. Absolutely not. It's just, he is. He's the best we could have given you, and by "we" I mean, you know, the brown and black people. And when he leaves you replace him with the crudest, crassest, most loathsome T.V. personality. What do you want us to say? What do you want me to say? To quote a friend at work: "After the n*gger, I guess anybody could be put in there."
Lydon: Let me just say, it's 20 years now–more than 20 years–that I've known you well. You're the other in our midst and you know us, of course, much much better than we know you. I take you seriously. What are you noticing these days?
Amber: How angry your country is, and I don't understand why. Why is America so angry? You've got a great 5 country. You've got a pretty decent life compared to most people. Nobody's dropping bombs on you. No drones are blowing up your weddings or bombing your school kids. I'm living in fear, and I'm not angry.
Lydon: It's a very good question. I keep thinking "What are we afraid of?"
Amber: That Time Magazine cover when I was a little girl in Catholic School: "The Browning of America." That's what you're afraid of.
Lydon: I think we're afraid of our punishment too. Our comeuppance…
Amber: To quote a black comedian: "What are you worried about? When we get in charge we're gonna do what you're gonna do to us?"
Lydon: Speak to this moment: late winter, 2017. Compare it, say, with a wonderful conversation we had in 2004 during the democratic national convention, 6 the Kerry-nominating convention right here in Boston, and you were saying, "What about those SWAT teams that are looking at me on the subway? They've got machine guns in hand." You said it made you feel like a criminal, but this a different moment. What are you noticing?
Amber: It's not the SWAT teams now that I'm afraid of. It's my neighbor, my landlord, my good friend, someone at my aunt's old church that may have a grudge. That's what I'm afraid of: people I know and I've loved and I've shared things with who I can't criticize or say a bad word to now because they might be able to pick up a telephone and make a phone call and everything is gone, destroyed, over. That's a different kind of life.
Lydon: You know, it's all about papers now. Papers, papers, papers. I.C.E. The I.N.S used to be immigration, migrants as a big threat we're told. You know that totally other side of the coin, and you and I have pushed together, from time to time, on that immigration wall. What I learned was that it's an impenetrable maze. You can't get in. You can't get out. We used to talk to Ted Kennedy's office about it. We talked about your case with one of the most famous immigration lawyers in the country and they all said there's nothing to be done. We can't send her back, can't bring her to court, can't surface this situation. So…a nightmare. Don't bother. Talk about that place you live. It is underground. It's nowhere.
Amber: You mean like having no fingerprints? That's how I feel most of my life, yes. No country, no place, nowhere to belong. Just there, existing. Now, it's just worse. I've been an orphan. I've been a foster kid, and that wasn't quite as painful as having to let go of the idea that I'm an American. This is a much bigger divorce. This is who I am. This is all I know. There is no place to go back to, and one of the reasons I was brought here was because my guardian was assured that this was a land of laws, this was a land of reason, this was anti-Britain. Please remember, she came from post-colonial England, and America was always presented to her, my family, all those domestic maids down there working for all those fine rich white americans–who brought them here to do the same thing–as the anti-Britain. This wasn't about a class system. This was someplace where a domestic could come, work 7 days a week, which she did, bring her niece who had no parents no place to live at the time, and eventually, the laws, the rules would say, "This kid is no threat. This kid is no terrorist. This kid can stay." We lived in a one bedroom apartment, slept on the floor because we had no bed when we first came here. And yet, I was never happier in my life because I was home. I finally had a mother, and I finally had a country I belonged to. And then, my aunt — who didn't finish what you all would consider high school — started the legal process, writing to the INS, "This child has no home. This child has been running around without clothes and food since the person that was taking care of her died. This child is mine because nobody else wants her, and I want her. Please let her stay." Orphans and foster kids are always most terrified when something is arbitrary, when somebody somewhere can just go, "You, I like. You, I don't like. You, I like." That's what you're immigration system is basically, always has been. We got letters saying, "Too bad, don't care. Put her on a plane." My Aunt would go, "Where?" Where? Who's gonna meet here? What do I do with her? She's not a number! Because, you know, they assigned me a number, and my poor aunt — who can barely write — scribbled in her note, "She's a child. She's not a number. This is my baby. Let me keep my baby, please. I'll work 7 days. I'll put her in Catholic school. It won't be your America dollar. She's gonna be a good citizen someday." Number rejected. No answer, just number rejected. I've been a number rejected since I was a child, and yet, I've held onto this country believing this is home. This is my home.
Lydon: This home in a kind of unidentifiable limbo. Do you recognize each other out there? Do you see other people that are groping around in the fog?
Amber: Yes. You can tell. The guy who sweeps up the train station looks a little nervous every now and then, doesn't like to get too close to the police officers when he walks by, and you sort of look at him and he looks at you…You do the wink sometimes. You can tell. It's not that hard to find us actually. We're out there living and loving a country that doesn't love us back. We clean your streets. We clean your toilets. We serve your food. We take care of your babies. Wipe the behinds of the elderly when nobody else wants them. That's us.
Lydon: Why is this happening now, and is it the end of something or the beginning of something or maybe both?
Amber: I don't have an answer to that because I don't know why you're angry. If I can figure out why America's angry, I can give you an answer to that. I do think it's the end of something. Little kids like me, they're all over the place — Syria, India, China, all over the place, the Caribbean — and something used to draw us here. I could go to college there. I could invent the next Apple computer there. Why in God's name would the next generation believe that? Why? They can go to Sweden, they can go 10 to Switzerland, they can go to Denmark, they can go to Germany… Angela Merkel. (I love that woman.) Why? Why come here to build the next Apple computer? This is the end of something. This is where the fiction of the American Dream finally dies. We bury it. It's over, and there's no Hollywood movie that's ever gonna convince some little kid like me sitting in front of the TV that this is where to come to build your future.
Lydon: Amber, it's so true in so many ways. You're breaking my heart because it rings so true, but it's your voice that keeps me from giving up.
Amber: God help us both. What is that Shakespeare scene, the two swimmers who are drowning and they keep pulling each other on? Careful. I think we're drowning here. This just may be Trump's America, not ours. In my America, you don't have to defend the word "diversity." Why the hell would you? It's a great word. You don't have to defend the word "Muslim." What's wrong with that word? It's a word with a long history. It's a fascinating, beautiful word. In his America, you do have to defend those things. You have to defend the word "Jewish," you have to defend the word "black," you have to defend the word "immigrant." Those two Americas cannot exists side-by-side. They just can't. It's not gonna work. Ones gotta win, one's gotta lose, and I have a horrible feeling mine's gonna lose.
Lydon: Don't give up.
Amber: Okay, I'm trying.

Chloe has developed from being a shy and quite insecure person to someone who enjoys talking in public impressively. She is now an ambassador for the school and is proof of the difference Career Ready can make.
Susan Cook, Deputy Head Teacher, Leith Academy
Alongside their coursework in the classroom, Career Ready offers young people hands-on experiences of work. These 'extra curricular' activities are based on our eight Skills for Career Success, the key attributes, knowledge and characteristics recognised by our employer supporters. The programme activities are split into four main areas and are what makes the Career Ready programme so successful in transforming young people's lives.
Every Career Ready Student is partnered with a mentor, who is an employer volunteer and acts as their sounding board, guide and critical friend. They will meet on average twice a term across two academic years, S5 and S6, to discuss coursework, workplace skills and share their mentor's real life experiences. To be able to get advice and support from someone who has 'been there and done that is invaluable.
Workplace Visits
A workplace visit may well give students their first chance to go to a workplace. Seeing how a business works at first hand can be an unforgettable experience and really spurs students on in their studies.
Our structured series of masterclasses gives students access to inspirational speakers, from young graduates to senior executives. They tell their own story and also deliver an engaging session mapped to one or more of the Skills for Career Success with the help of speaker guides provided by us, with follow-up activities for teachers and students. Hearing from business people often has a dynamic effect on students. Masterclasses can also have an impact beyond your Career Ready programme, as they are a resource available to all our schools.
The Internship
The paid 4-5 week internship between S5 and S6 gives students a summer they'll never forget. They will be able to use their newfound skills, get to grips with the workplace and often discover resources of courage, determination and ingenuity they never even thought they had. The transformation of your students in those four or five weeks can be remarkable.

The dining room seems to be where all the entertaining happens. Whether it is for the immediate family, holiday dinners or intimate romantic dinners, the dining room is a special room. When decorating your dining room, we often forget about the flooring and the area rug that goes under the table. Believe it or not, the perfect area rug can make your room feel casual or formal, just by changing the rug. Here are tips for choosing the right one for your home.
Assess the size of your dining room: Your dining room size will dictate how large of an area rug you should use. Large dining rooms may need to utilize two or more area rugs based on multiple seating areas and tables. For smaller dining rooms consider using one that is larger than your dining room table, but smaller than the perimeter of the room. For those that have hardwood flooring, a border of the contrasting resilient flooring makes a nice contrast.

Merton College was founded by Walter de Merton in 1264. Worship has been offered in the College Chapel for over seven hundred years. Today the Chapel is home to a lively and diverse Christian community which continues this faithful offering of worship with daily services during term. Visitors are welcome to join members of the College at all our services.
The Chapel is part of the Church of England, within the worldwide Anglican Communion, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is the College's Visitor. All those who are communicant members of their own church are welcome to receive Holy Communion with us.
The College Choir sings on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the Merton College Girls' Choir sings on Wednesdays, their music enriching our worship. Members of College and Friends of the Choir can purchase the Choir's recordings from the Verger. Copies are also available from the Porters' Lodge.
For full details of services and the termly list, please download the Chapel Termcard and Services booklet.
For information on services outside termtime, please see our list of special services and concerts.
Our collections this term will be donated to Christian Aid. Our collections during Hilary term were donated to the Christian charity Interserve, for whom Rachel Grandey (2007), a recent Merton graduate, is teaching in Laos.

Solaire Infrared Grills are the Best Hot Grills available. A small grill with the same power as the larger ones, the 21 can fit into most yards or balconies while offering the same cooking ability as the other grills.
The high heat of the Solaire Infrared Burner cooks at a fraction of the time of conventional grills and makes food juicer and more flavorful. The juices don't have as much time to leave your food and go up in smoke, and whatever does is either vaporized by the burner and returned right back to your food as flavor enhancing smoke or kept next to your food by the v-shaped cooking grates for a similar flavor enhancing effect. The high heat sear also adds a sort of crust to food, known as the Maillard reaction, which gives it a nice flavor and texture along with the visually pleasing bar marks. Solaire grills are perfect for grilling full meals or just using them for searing after sous vide, smoking, or other cooking methods.
Don't just take our word for it, try it 1st for yourself with our demo rental grill and taste the difference!

'Online psychotherapy as effective as face-to-face treatment'
A new research has found that online psychotherapy is just as efficient as the conventional treatment.
Three months after the end of the therapy, patients given online treatment even displayed fewer symptoms.
For the first time, clinical researchers from the University of Zurich provide scientific evidence of the equal value of internet-based psychotherapy.
Based on earlier studies, the Zurich team assumed that the two forms of therapy were on a par.
Not only was their theory confirmed, the results for online therapy even exceeded their expectations.
Six therapists treated 62 patients, the majority of whom were suffering from moderate depression.
The patients were divided into two equal groups and randomly assigned to one of the therapeutic forms.
The treatment consisted of eight sessions with different established techniques that stem from cognitive behaviour therapy and could be carried out both orally and in writing.
Patients treated online had to perform one predetermined written task per therapy unit - such as querying their own negative self-image. They were known to the therapist by name.
"In both groups, the depression values fell significantly," Professor Andreas Maercker, said.
At the end of the treatment, no more depression could be diagnosed in 53% of the patients who underwent online therapy - compared to 50% for face-to-face therapy.
